WAM! Acquires Edgemont

WAM! said Wednesday that it has acquired 57 episodes of Canadian teen drama series Edgemont.

The Starz Entertainment Group LLC-owned network said it will debut Edgemont in June.

“The series follows the lives of a compelling and sometimes quirky group of teens as they grapple with the trials and exhilarations of coming of age,” WAM! said.

“Edgemont features strong character development," WAM! vice president of programming Midge Pierce said in a prepared statement. "Our teen audience will see themselves and their friends in this show that draws from actual teen experiences."
